Following air reconnaissance by USN from "Ellsworth Station", 1957-58, the name Mount King was applied to a feature in this area, after Col. J. Caldwell King, US Army, who assisted in obtaining government support for RARE (Ronne, 1961, map Frontispiece). The name King Ridge was applied to the present feature following ground survey by USGS, 1961-62, and air photography by USN in 1964 (USGS sheet SV 11-20/4, 1969; APC, 1974, p.4).
